Van Rykan Productions Presents: Blood Noir

Van Rykan Productions Presents: Blood Noir

Project Overview

Hello! Van Rykan Productions is looking for voice talent for our upcoming audio drama, "Blood Noir"!

The premise?


A typical hard-boiled detective becomes embroiled in a mystery involving vampires and a mysterious ritual.


There are a LOT of roles. They are listed in the order they appear in the production, so MAKE SURE TO SCROLL. There are big roles and small.

Please audition in ABC format and do 2-3 takes, make them as different as possible! (ABC format means that you read all three lines in one take, then read them all again for the next take)

We're very excited: this our 4th show and our most ambitious project yet!


Please make sure there is minimal background noise/reverb in your audition. I need a good idea of what your setup sounds like!

Good luck! I can't wait to hear all of your beautiful voices!

Latest Updates

  • FIRST ROUND OF AUDITIONS

    Hello everyone!


    Gerald Van Rykan here, just wanted to update you all on the auditions for my upcoming audio drama, Blood Noir!

    We're closing the first round of auditions a little bit early, so that we can begin the second round.

    I'm in the process of messaging those people who I have cast. If you have been selected I will reach out.

    Thank you very much to everyone who has auditioned! I believe I have reviewed everyone's auditions and am super happy about the turnout for this project. You're all awesome.

    If you aren't selected, I assure you it's not personal :)

    Thank you all again, and be sure to watch out for Blood Noir when it hits podcasting services!

    -Gerald
